In English, I'm used to capitalizing proper nouns.
We don't do this in Klingon.
Which makes me wonder how to specify that a word in Klingon is someone's name.
I've recently been informed that German doesn't distinguish between
nouns and proper nouns with capitalization.
So, how do languages that don't distinguish keep things straight?
